I completely agree, however I have found that 5500 setting produces
fleshtones that are a little too red. E10 manual recommends 6500, in that I
think they are correct. You are correct about the exposure tolerance...it is
very narrow. Manual flash, for me, is easier and being careful about shooting
distances. It is often easier to use a portrait setup ( 4 or 5 lights) and
use a radio slave on the e10. Results are fantastic.
